ILS is proud to announce the appointment of Irish Water Safety volunteer Dr Matthew Sills as the Dr Ian Mackie Fellow.

ILS Medical Committee Members contributed to an article on Drowning, published on NEJM.

The ILS Medical Committee is concerned that publicity surrounding compression-only CPR may deflect potential rescuers from the true needs of victims of a drowning incident.

The ILS urgently reminds all would-be rescuers that hands-only CPR is not appropriate in cases of drowning.
